SHE Society
The Co is thrilled to revive its 2019 initiative honoring 100 years of women’s right to vote: The SHE Society.
The SHE Society is a group of women and men brought together to champion women artists through visionary exhibitions and unique events. As the challenges of our world today reveal and deepen existing inequalities in our nation, our SHE Society has taken on new meaning. It is a space to celebrate, but also to find solace and build strength. It is a program to spotlight talent, bravery, and creativity, but also to demonstrate solidarity.
